No, the moon does not spin faster than the Earth, it actually spins much more slowly than the Earth does, just once per lunar month, keeping the same face pointed at the Earth at all times.

If the earth spins faster would the moon go faster around the earth?

No. The speed of the moon's orbit does not depend on Earth's spin; it depends on Earth's mass. However, a faster spin on Earth's part would make the moon appear to move across the sky faster, as it would for the sun and stars.


Can you run quicker on the moon than on earth?

Yes, you can run faster on the moon than on Earth because the moon has lower gravity, which means there is less resistance holding you back as you run. This allows you to move more easily and faster compared to on Earth.


Does an apple fall faster on the moon or earth?

On the earth because the earth has stronger gravity than the moon


Does the earth move faster then the moon?

The earth moves faster than the moon. Answer 2 Since they both take the same time to get round the Sun (1 year) they must both move at the same average speed. However, the Moon is also moving round the Earth. Unless its plane of rotation is at exactly 90 degrees to the path of the Earth around the Sun (which it isn't), there will be times when it's going around the Sun slightly faster than Earth and times when it's going slightly slower.


If you parachuted on the moon and earth which one will you fall faster on?

you will fall faster on the earth because earth has a higher gravity

Would a feather fall faster or slower on earth than the moon?

A feather would fall faster on Earth than on the Moon due to Earth's stronger gravitational pull. The Moon has less gravity than Earth, so objects fall more slowly on the Moon.
